Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Award-winning TruePower performance from the company that has led the way in power supply design and quality since 1986. PC enthusiasts and reviewers agree: TruePower is Antec's most advanced line of PC power supplies, with over 45 worldwide "Editor's Choice" or "Best Buy" awards and counting. These power supplies feature dedicated output circuitry for each voltage so that each output delivers maximum power whenever you need it. To make sure these voltages stay accurate, TruePower also includes voltage-feedback circuitry to improve system stability.

Thanks to Antec New Low Noise Technology, system noise is substantially reduced, too. The power supply fans run at the lowest speed appropriate to load and conditions, controlled by an advanced temperature response system that outperforms previous solutions. Dedicated fan-only power connectors allow TruePower power supplies to control the speed of case fans, too, thus reducing total system noise.

Features:

• Dedicated output circuitry for each voltage output, overcomes the limitations of combined output of traditional design--get all the power you need when you need it most
• Voltage feedback to maintain accurate voltage to all components: adds stability to your system
• Antec Low Noise Technology achieves the optimum balance between noise reduction and necessary cooling
• ATX12V for AMD- and Intel-based systems, including P4
• 2 serial ATA drive connectors
• 2 double-ball-bearing fans
• Gold-plated connectors

MODEL- TRUE480 VENDOR- ANTEC INC. FEATURES- TruePower Power Supply- 480 watts This power supply features dedicated output circuitry for each voltage so that all the rails deliver maximum power whenever you need them to. Thanks to Antec Low Noise Technology system noise is substantially reduced. This technology allows the power supplys fan to run at lower rates until their cooling power is truly needed. Thus when a system is not being pushed less noise is produced. TruePower with unique and innovative features provides your PC with more power performance stability and reliability than other power supplies. * Dedicated output circuitry for each voltage output overcomes the limitations of combined output of traditional design. * ATX 12V 2.03 compliant for AMD and Intel based systems including P4. * Voltage Feedback to maintain accurate voltage to all components: adds stability to your system. * Antec Low Noise Technology allows system case fans to be monitoried.

This review is from: Antec TruePower 480-Watt Power Supply (Personal Computers)

This power supply is a good purchase. It is indeed quiet, not silent, but quiet compared to older power supplies.

It has some interesting features like SATA connectors for the upcoming generation of hard drives, and "dedicated Fan Only power connectors allow TruePower to control the speed of case fans, reducing total system noise." This feature is limited (in the documentation) to 3 fans though, so if you have more, you will have to connect them to regular connectors.

It does not have an extra outlet in the back, to plug your monitor in, like some other power supplies have, but it does have an external +5V and +12V connector to power external peripherals.
